My friend has a 1.6L Nissan and paid Rs8500 for road tax for 1 full year. He is now selling the car but has a good 3 months worth of tax still on it. Is he able to get a refund for this? It's Rs2125 that he'll lose otherwise!

No, there's no refund. That's why sellers take this into account when deciding on the sale price of their car. Just ask your friend to add the difference on top of what the car's worth.
